Pros

The co-workers are by far the best thing about Harris Teeter. Often times they are the only thing that keeps me from seeking other employment. Profit sharing bonus checks, given twice a year, are also a nice perk. Vacation time for part-timers is another great thing about Harris Teeter.

Cons

Management is one of the largest problems. They are extremely inconsistent with how things are run and what is expected of associates. Managers, especially on the front end, are also constantly switched around and swapped out between stores. This leads to many problems between management and employees. Hours are also another issue, one week you are scheduled 25 hours and the nest week only 9. The pay is also another large issue. Don't get me wrong, Harris Teeter starts employees out at more than most other stores. But they don't pay nearly enough when you advance in job positions. I went from being a cashier to customer service and all I received was an extra quarter and three times as many headaches. I also promoted from customer service to office assistant and didn't get anything but a title change. Its absurd that they will pay a new hire who comes from another company leaps and bounds more than someone who starts from the bottom and moves up. Great workers also undervalued, there isn't enough incentive to come to work, do a great job, and advance.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
